Yep, I am having the same problem. I do think the left USB port is bad, as only certain cables work in it, and a thumb drive I have the boot up software on lights up on the right one, but not the left one. I'm curious what PS4 people are using. I have the Star Wars special edition with the Vader logo on it. I've tried like 10 different cables, 10 different controllers. They all will show the orange soft glow light, and when I push the PS button, it blinks white, goes dark, and then eventually goes orange again. I've unplugged it, restarted, tried the two beeps start up. I've plugged the cords and controllers into other PS4s that work, and they work. It's gotta be the USB ports. That's all I can think of. And if it is, what can you do about it?
